Parent and Family Resources

Oakview Primary School (OPS) is committed to the support and development of the entire family. This is evidenced by the comprehensive package of services offered to the families of our students. Our Parent Information Workshop Series offers several types of programs for parents. A foundation series of informational workshops offers a basic understanding of the core issues of ASD, such as communication, behavior, and sensory integration. Advanced workshops offer detailed information about topics such as DTT, SCERTS, RDI, Social Skill Development, Recreation and Play Skills, and more. Hands-on activities allow parents to create tools and materials to utilize at home with their children. Finally, support group meetings provide an informal arena for parents to meet one another and discuss what is important to them.

OPS also offers home visits to help meet the unique needs of each of our families. PLC encourages the involvement of extended family members such as grandparents, as well as aunts and uncles to help them become more familiar with autism and instructional methods used by the program.
